THIS! A really captivating account of Royalist Newark, (and a fascinating glimpse into a genuinely popular and patriotic conservatism, of a proudly independent variety. )

At @pembroke1347, we hosted a Summer Academy for @Elephant__Group, a charity which works with high achieving Year 12s to access higher education. We had a great discussion about the breadth of a History degree and explored 17th Century pamphlets! #twitterstorians

“Publishers have finally woken up to the potential of the civil wars”. Thrilling spot by always shrewd @dcsandbrook @thetimes with which I totally agree. We civil war historians have waited a long time for this & I’m excited to add my own #TheHouseofCromwell to the revival! 📚

[Jade Jesty @JadeJesty_]

It was a delight to deliver Pembroke’s History Subject Masterclass with our visiting Year 12s today! We explored popular print from the 1640s, before comparing Royalist and Parliamentarian petitions from @cwpetitions! 👑 @PemCamOutreach
